About Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the arterial wall while
blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the
heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic
(highest). The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood
flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood
pressure.
High blood pressure's strong correlation with cardiovascular
diseases and high morbidity has made measuring blood pressure a
necessity of identifying those at risk.
